All Episodes

September 3, 2026 • 44 mins

Colorado schools are turning kids into protest props, and a brutal House hearing exposes why the debate over immigration is far more personal than the headlines admit. Lynda McLaughlin and Eric Eggers connect the dots between school walkouts, sanctuary-state politics, and the angel families who are left picking up the pieces. The conversation starts with a jaw-dropping anti-ICE student protest in Colorado. It quickly becomes a broader indictment of how kids are pressured, coached, and used to push political messaging they barely understand. Lynda and Eric break down the role parents and teachers play in that pressure, why state leadership matters, and why these walkouts hit differently when they happen alongside stories of real families devastated by illegal-drug and trucking accidents.

The episode then shifts into a sharp takedown of public figures and politicians who, in the hosts' view, talk in elite abstractions while ignoring real-world consequences. From Anne Hathaway's controversial abortion remarks to the growing influence of Hasan Piker-style politics on candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, Linda and Eric trace how rhetoric, branding, and ideological alignment are shaping the 2026 and 2028 political landscape.

They also hit a Georgia election official's claim that the Pledge of Allegiance is offensive, then close with one of the most unexpectedly human moments of the episode—a Staten Island man struck by lightning who survives, goes to church, and thanks God for sparing his life. It's the kind of ending that reminds you this show can swing from outrage to gratitude in a heartbeat.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Rogue Recap. Hot takes, cold facts, and
zero respect for the official narrative. Sit back, roll your eyes,
and let's recap Rogue Style.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
What's up, guys? Welcome to Sound Bites episode. I don't
know anymore, and I'm not counting because I'm tired of
doing it, so you're welcome, America.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's 19. It's 19. See?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
That was a test, and you passed. You're welcome.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
See?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Because I always have to say it, and I'm tired
of keeping count. This is a one-sided relationship, and I
don't like it, all right? You got to haul your
own weight here in this show.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Okay, Mr. Eggers? You obviously don't understand how most of
my relationships work, Linda, but sure. I get it.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Welcome to the show, everybody. Obviously, I am the host
of Rogue Recap, Linda McLaughlin. This is Eric Eggers. We're
here for Sound Bites 19. And if you're watching the news,
and I'm sure you are because you're listening to this show,
you know that everybody's lost their mind even worse than
it was last week. And I assume it's going to
get worse and worse because of the fact that we're
heading into midterm season. We're going to have even more

(01:17):
assholes to talk about. But we've got some choice individuals
for today, Mr.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Eggers.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think we're going to lead with our dumbass of dumbasses.
He's actually a protester from January. But for those of
you not aware, there is a protest this Friday. Already,
the education department has our kids protesting ICE and DHS
on Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
So what I think is great about this clip is
it reminds like the northern elites, you coach the elites
of which, like I'm not saying Linda is one, but
she works among them. And I think their biggest surprise
from this is like, wait, school started? Because nothing actually,
it's still summertime. People are still at the Hamptons or
at Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket until after this weekend after

(02:04):
Labor Day. So I think they're surprised to find out
that the peasants among us, you know, the working class,
we've been slaving away in the coal mines of education
for the last few weeks.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's weird, too, because the way we do it up
here is we let the kids go back and then
we give them a few days off just to tease them.
And then we send them back again. So like my
youngest is like, what do we do? I'm like, I
really don't have an answer for you. When I was
a kid, we went to school after Labor Day. That
was the rule. Now they start. I think they actually
start because they want to end earlier. So I don't really,

(02:35):
you know, I'm not in education, but that's my understanding
from my friends that teach. Like, well, the sooner we start,
the sooner we end. And if we don't take snow
days and.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yada, yada, yada. I'm like, all right. Well, maybe if
you were in education, you would have more empathy and
sympathy for the plight of these illegals who are mercilessly
and savagely attacked by these ICE agents, which is why
it's basically the new civil rights movement. It's like 1968
all over again. So that's why the students are getting involved.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
So this, I'm going to read from this. So there's
over 70 schools that are reportedly planning to participate in
the anti-ICE walkout for this Friday, September 4th. And they
are already brainwashing the kids. It's a big It's specifically
in Colorado. That's the lead. I'm not surprised, you know,
the drug den of America. So Colorado statewide walkout students

(03:23):
say ice out. And you know, all the kids got
the fist in the air, you know, I mean, just
complete morons. But here's the sad part. There's two parts
to this. And then as we set up this cut,
the cut we're going to play for you is from January.
But the issue that I have here is the parents, right?
So like for me, When my kids started high school
and my youngest guy just started sixth grade, we talked

(03:46):
about everything. I knew the books that were assigned over
the summer. I knew what they were reading in English.
I went to every parent-teacher meeting. I have one tonight.
We're recording this on Wednesday, September 2nd. I'm in there.
I'm like, let me see the library. What are you
guys reading? Do I feel comfortable with the flags that
I see hanging? I was that person. And so these parents...

(04:08):
Are they aware that on Friday, now a lot of
schools are observing holiday on Friday because of Labor Day
on Monday, which I don't actually understand. My kid's one
of them. He's getting Friday off and Monday off. I'm like,
I don't know. Anyhow, but so I'm wondering, do they
have the day off and then they're saying to these kids,
you're allowed to protest or is this a school day
for all of them in Colorado? Regardless, it is total indoctrination.

(04:31):
These kids are literally being put in a room going, well,
everybody's marching. So are you going to be the only
one that doesn't? It is such bullying and so much
pressure for these kids.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well, let me tell you where they're not doing it
is in Florida, right? Because Papa DeSantis don't play that.
Our education commissioner doesn't play that. And so I do
think it's telling the states that are participating. You might
expect it in California. You might expect it in Colorado.
But I don't think you're seeing it in these states
where they have like common sense in education.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
And just take a listen to this kid. Now, this
kid was from the walkouts they were doing in January
from the last school year. But he is a skinny
white kid. You know, standing there, this, I honestly, I
want to just punch him in the face so he
can feel some pain and have something to complain about.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
The real gang members are the white supremacists in the
Department of Homeland Security. Thawing masks as they kidnap my
neighbors in unmarked vans. And no immigrant has ever stolen
my loved ones. We sit in the heart of this

(05:37):
evil empire, a wretched machine seeking only to shoot and
to explode. But this machine can only devour us as
long as we let it. My friends, get organized, stay militant,
and let us make the working class one dangerous force
to oppress.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
So, aside from the voice crack that allows us to
fully understand that he's 14 years old.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
It's like a South Park episode. It's so great.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
God, you just make it easy, buddy, you know? And
here's the other thing. Tell me how you feel about
this and tell me if you think I'm wrong. I
often feel that when you're really passionate about something, you
don't need a notepad. You don't need to write down
your thoughts. Your thoughts come easily for two reasons. Number one,
you're telling the truth. And number two, you're informed enough

(06:29):
on the topic to speak from it from top of mind.
You don't need a list of what to say. He's
not even saying anything that profound. I'm like, you couldn't
just say that, that you needed notes?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, as you noted, he is 14. And so who
knows what's on the list? You know what I'm saying?
It could have been like all the memes and vibes, bro.
I mean, it could have just been like- A smiley face.
His buddy's on Snapchat.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
You can do it.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
But here's the irony is he's having this, you know,
kind of the speech and they're having this protest. But
the thing he said is like no immigrant has ever
hurt one of my loved ones, which is ironic because
literally this week we had hearings happening. So I would
just say the two things that stand out. Number one
is he's calling the people of ICE white supremacists. And

(07:18):
it reminds me of one of the clips you played
before when they were like cheering that somebody was leaving
and they're actually employees, you know. And so they're like,
you're racist. They're not white.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
They were like Mexican.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
I know.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I think the one guy was Mexican. The other guy was,
I forget what his nationality was, but they were both like,
they were like, bro, we work here.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Like don't assume because we're Brown that we don't work here. Like,
you know, who's the racist now? And it's always the same.
It's like these white old boomers. It's like they went
into all the retirement communities. They were like, yo, are
you bored? Are you lonely? Come be friends with us.
You know, I mean, what is going on?

Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's a welcome to the no Kings rally. A hundred percent.
That's what it is. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
A hundred percent. When I went to the No Kings
rally to protest the protesters, what was funny about it
was that they were like, everybody was older than my grandma.
And I was like, God, I was always told to,
you know, be respectful to my elders. But I think
I'm going to have to take a few of these
grannies out. I'm like, I'm sorry. Like the time has come.
It's arrived. But all seriousness. So this kid's a moron.

(08:21):
He's saying that no illegal has ever hurt anyone I loved.
And so there's a reason that the expression angel family,
it exists now. for the reason that so many people
have suffered at the hands of illegal immigrants taking away
loved ones. And so just yesterday, before the House Judiciary Subcommittee,
we had several families appear. And what they're trying to

(08:45):
do is they're trying to get these blue states to
look at their sanctuary laws and their sanctuary policies. In specific,
Marcus Coleman, who was at the State of the Union
last year, his daughter Delilah, five years old, Short of
a very long story, she was hit by a tractor trailer.
The guy came in in 22 under Joe Biden, gets

(09:06):
an illegal driver's license and a CDL from the state
of California, comes across, hits her in a moving vehicle.
She's airlifted out of the vehicle. She's in the hospital
six months. They removed a part of her skull for
four months. She now has palsy and debilitating diseases for
the rest of her life. And all of these injuries

(09:26):
brought on by this man. Who should have never been here?
Never got a phone call. Never got a we are
so sorry. No accountability at all. So this guy goes before,
you know, the House panel yesterday. Of course, you know,
Jaya Paul's there in all her glory. You know, it's
very you remember what she said during the Sheridan Gorman hearing.
I mean, I just like we have better things to do.

(09:48):
This is my third one of these. Oh, I'm sorry.
Is someone's child dying not worthy of your time? I
thought you were a public servant. But he puts it
very clearly, you know, and actually to my point, that
I said earlier, he had this whole prepared statement. And
as he's about to start, he's like, I can't even
read this because you guys don't care.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I think that these hearings do another thing, too, or
at least they they have a goal of doing something
that doesn't happen without them, which is to get the
mainstream media, regular media to do stories on the fact
that these families exist. I think that's because, because all
the coverage has been about ice and it's been about
any negative, you know, interactions with regular citizens, but what,
what they have lost sight of is the fact that

(10:31):
like ice got deployed for a reason because you'd have
so many of these stories. And I actually give, Mark
Halperin-Cready has been talking about this for over a year, said, listen,
the media, if they were interested in trying to be
more balanced and have customers on both sides of the
political spectrum, then they would tell stories like this. Because
stories like this are in truth, I think, why Donald
Trump won re-election.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
And I think, too, and then we'll play this clip
of Marcus Coleman and his daughter Delilah. You know, Marcus
has been trying to move forward with this bill, Delilah's Law.
It doesn't even go after illegal immigration. It just goes
after not giving out specifically CDL licenses to people who
are here illegally, cannot show proof of citizenship from driving

(11:12):
a fricking tractor trailer when they can't read the damn signs.
I mean, that is a moving weapon, period, end of sentence.
And if you are issuing CDLs to people who cannot
read the language and cannot follow the traffic laws, you
should be held as an accomplice. You are literally aiding
and abetting, period, end of sentence. But here he is
really kind of giving it to them, which I can appreciate.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
I reject your guys' sympathy, to be honest with you.
There's no way you guys are sorry. Not one of
you guys have ever called me. Not one of you
guys have ever reached out to me. Not one of
you guys have ever sat there and seen me in
the hallways and said, hey, sorry about your daughter. You
guys do it right here while you guys are grandstanding
on top of your soapbox. This is when you guys care.
Right here inside this room is the only time you
guys care.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I mean, so sad. And his little girl was in
the room with him. So it's like, here's my daughter.
She is now physically disabled because of your policies and
your inability to see past all of your agenda items
to help a kid.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's crazy, too. I mean, we talked about the whole
Stop Nick Shirley Act thing last week. But remember, the
Stop Nick Shirley Act was meant specifically to protect people
who might be caring for immigrants, even illegal immigrants. So
I do think it's unfortunately part of a larger pattern.
Why can't anybody in that room do anything to say,
you know what? You're right. It's dangerous for us to
have people in this country who can't read or write

(12:39):
operating something that requires literacy to follow the rules, et cetera.
But it goes against this protected class that's so important
to the constituents. So that's why you see moments like that.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
And I think these kids who are walking out, right,
on the 4th, I would love for one teacher, one
of them, to have the bulls. Because I know there's
somebody in that mix that thinks like us. There's somebody
in that mix that doesn't agree with the go along,
get along crowd and is like, this is wrong. Who
could come in and say, hey, I'd like you to

(13:11):
see the testimony of, I don't know, just the last
six families that have lost loved ones and their kids
are the same age as you.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Let's just hope for all those kids on September 4th
that are walking out. There's not an illegal driving a
semi truck in the area. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I mean, all kidding aside, because they have them walking
on the damn road.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I know.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
I'm like, who?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure we have like laws with
The schools that say not we are not responsible for
things that happen outside of campus, off school property.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Like all that language. I'm like, I don't know how
this works. But to me, it just seems like a
cacophony of errors. I have no idea where Jared Polis is.
I don't know why he's not stepping in as the
governor and saying, hey, guys, this might be a problem.
Maybe we shouldn't do this. Everybody's so afraid of going
up against the woke.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
I just don't get it. I think where Jared Paulus is,
he's somewhere like on the street corner like, vamonos a
la gringos.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, speaking to the point of these kids going out
and protesting because they don't have a clear idea of
what it is, I saw Anne Hathaway yesterday. And let
me just say, because I want to be honest, I
despise Anne Hathaway. I think she's a pompous, elitist, stupid-ass
actress who reads words that other people wrote for her
and then goes about with this higher than thou. I'm

(14:24):
Anne Hathaway. Shut up, broad. Like, just shut up. I've
had enough. You literally are just an actress. I don't
get why we glorify actresses. I never have.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
So putting that to the side, I just, I think
it's just quick. I can answer that one actually. It's
because they're wealthy and attractive generally.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
There's a lot of wealthy and attractive broads that aren't actresses.
I don't praise them either. You know what I mean? Like,
you know, there's a lot of beautiful people in the world.
That's okay. But if you're a piece of shit, you're
a piece of shit, you know? What is that whole expression?
Lipstick on a pig.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
And I like pigs, but all that to the side.
I think this comment is one of the most disgusting,
ignorant comments I have heard. I mean, it's one of
those things where I'm like, wow, show me that you
have the devil inside you without ever saying it. I mean,
this was I think even like the panel was like, oh,

(15:13):
that's that's a lot. I don't know how I feel
about that. And what I will say, we're going to
play this. What I will say is it's out of
pure ignorance because you don't know what an abortion is.
And until you have seen an abortion or you have
met an abortion survivor, you cannot tell me that you
are an informed pro-life or pro-choice person. Because when you

(15:34):
watch an abortion, like a real one, what it is,
what they do to kill that child inside of the womb,
because a lot of these women, they go under. I
don't want to feel it. I don't want to know.
I want to wake up when it's over. why don't
you stay awake for a minute and watch the murder
that you're committing? But you're going to feel real different
about abortion. Cause that's how I was. I was like
22 years old. I met an abortion survivor and I

(15:57):
was like, she's like, well, what's your position? I said, well,
I'm Catholic, you know, I'm pro-life, but I feel like
I shouldn't tell other people what to do with their body.
And she was like, have you ever seen an abortion?
And I said, no, I haven't. She said, oh, let's
watch one together. Then we'll see how you feel. And I,
it changed my life. It really, I really like, it
changed my life. Cause I used to never have an opinion.
And now I have a very strong opinion, but I

(16:18):
consider it to be an informed opinion. And if you
ever saw the movie or read any of the records
from the Gosnell case, you would understand the... I mean,
it's something out of the worst, most horrific horror movie
you've ever seen times 100. And that happened in real life.
People don't even talk about it. They don't even know

(16:38):
who Dr. Gosnell is.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
I know.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (16:41):
But.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Let's play this clip. We'll talk on the other side.
This is Anne Hathaway at her finest. These are her
own words though, guys. Nobody wrote these for her. She
got these on her own.

Speaker 8 (16:49):
When you are a young woman starting out your career,
your reproductive destiny matters a great deal. My own personal
experience with abortion, and I don't think we talk about
this enough, abortion can be another word for mercy. We
don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
We don't know.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
It's not a world in which... We know that no
two pregnancies are alike, and it follows that no two
lives are alike. That follows that no two conceptions are alike.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 8 (17:11):
So how can we have a law? How can we
have a point of view on this that says we
must treat everything the same? And where I come at
it from is when you allow for choice, you allow
for flexibility, which is what we need in order to
be human.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
I want to be in the meeting where Anne Hathaway's
agent was like, you know what would be good for
your career? Go on The View. and piss off at
least 60% of the country, right? Like just go and like,
not even to say, hey, we could have a thing,
but like to call abortion an act of mercy is,
I think, that's on that kind of a Linda Clancy

(17:47):
train there.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
I agree with you.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
And it's a sad thing, you know, speaking of Lindsay Clancy,
I don't have this in the rundown for today, but
I did this in a show that I did the
other day. And these are regular women who, Regular, every day,
just walking around the park. Some of them have kids
with them. Being asked how they feel about Lindsay Clancy

(18:11):
and if they support her. Take a look at this.
Do you stand with her, yes or no?

Speaker 3 (18:15):
I don't think she did it. Yes.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
We feel she's very sleep deprived.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
Her job as a labor and delivery nurse working night shifts.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
And three children is.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
A lot.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Do you have children?

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Would you ever hurt them? Yes and no.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
As a mom or as a dad, I think that
you are not perfect.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
So what are the consequences she should face for this? Obviously,
she's already in a wheelchair. He should go to jail
for negligence. He needs to take care of his kids,
and that was his responsibility. Is this any of your girlfriends? No.
This is your girlfriend?

Speaker 7 (18:47):
I think you have to do some reflection on that.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
I just have seen a little bit on TikTok of
the case.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
I'm watching it on TikTok or like the live streams.
Where are you getting your news that the defense might
not be getting theirs?

Speaker 5 (19:00):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
What did you say?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
TikTok. Yeah, it's it's insane. And I do think it's
funny to hear that. But I don't think it's unfair
to connect the dots between Anne Hathaway being like, yeah,
you know, killing a baby in the womb is an
act of mercy. Because, like, if you think that's OK,
then eventually you kind of play it out. And that's
where the Lindsay Clancy thing. I will say this. You know,

(19:22):
you talk about like having seen. an abortion and like
and when you are confronted with the reality of it
because those all those women in the lindsey clancy video
it's like yeah i saw something about it on tiktok
you didn't actually watch this woman strangled her child right
if you actually were confronted with the graphic visual evidence
of it um imagining people would feel slightly differently about

(19:42):
it and the best example i remember from this is,
I don't know if you were working in radio in
like 2002 and 2003, but I remember very distinctly, I was,
so Glenn Beck started his, he had his radio show
and he had just moved into the morning, like after,
you know, 9-11 and they put him up. And so
he said, he was talking about this and he goes, listen, we,

(20:03):
you know, we've talked about this. It's like George W.
Bush and we're going to do stem cell research. You know,
that's kind of the conversation we have as a country.
Glenn Beck's like, we're going to do something that we
need to do. He goes, we're going to play for
you a live abortion on air. And he goes, and that's,
and people need to hear the radio on there. What
a live abortion sounds like. And he's like teasing on

(20:23):
Mondays on Friday, we're going to play a live abortion.
So then all week people are calling in Glenn. I
don't think we should do that. That's too much. It's
too graphic. But even for like a few days, he
made them confront emotionally and conceptually and philosophically what that
would be. And then on Friday he goes, okay, I
told you we're going to play this live abortion. He

(20:44):
played a clip of Al Franken's radio show. It was
so good. No, I know it was such a good payoff,
but it, but it was such an elite way.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
To like, he became a Senator. Holy shit.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
I know, but it was this real thing.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
That's a whole other conversation.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
I know.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
I know.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
You make an excellent point. And I, I was saying
this the other day as I was, I was talking
about what's happening in, in England and in France and
in Sweden and these ridiculous, um, rises in sexual assaults.
It is crazy. And I always get offended when they
say sexual assaults because it's not sex, it's rape. It's
rape and it is physical assault, right? It's this idea

(21:26):
that you are walking down a street or going to
the gym or with your children and they will rape
you and then they'll rape your kids in front of
you because they're from a third world country that A,
thinks you're less than the value of a mule. And B,
thinks that they are told by their God that it's
okay for them to suppress you and use you for
what they want. And they literally believe that. They don't

(21:49):
think they're doing anything wrong, nor do they care about
you crying, you screaming, the pain they're caught. Nothing matters.
But then you have these people who are making laws
and voting on it. So I'm like, okay, so do
we need to see the rape? We need to see
the rape. You need to see what it is for
someone to be raped. and not just raped, but gang raped.
If we look at the beaches of Suta, Spain, and

(22:11):
they're talking about these young girls, they bring them across
with them. They drag them through Morocco as they come
across the Suta, Spain. They take them into the hills
up in that little town and they gang rape them
and leave them for dead. When they bring them to
the police department in Suta, Spain, they say, we're sorry,
we're not able to help you. You have to take
her back to Morocco. Some of these girls are as

(22:33):
young as 11. So these are the realities of what
happens because ignorance is bliss. And we can say, poor
illegal immigrant. I will tell you what, I don't have
one shred of sympathy for one illegal immigrant from the
age of birth to the age of death. I have
no sympathy for them whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
And why?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Because I need to have one rule for all, which
is come to the country legally, bring us your asylum package,
tell us why you need a green card, put yourself
in the lottery. Those are the options that are available
to us at that point. If you want to have
a conversation about changing the system, sure, let's do it.
That's a great conversation. I love to have it. My
conversation is about the United States of America and the

(23:14):
angel families that live every single day with the hardship
of having lost a child because you want to stand
up with a bullhorn like the Dutero. and tell me
that ICE has to leave. So you know what? You
can kiss my ass. That's a bunch of shit. You're uninformed.
I don't feel like I have to qualify my feelings
to someone who can't even have the argument. They don't
even understand the things I'm saying. And to the Lindsay

(23:35):
Clancy case, full circle, I wonder if these women would
feel the same way if they saw the pictures of
her strangled children.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Right. No, absolutely. Because what have they seen? They've seen
her in a wheelchair, right? That's what they've seen.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (23:50):
I'd like to throw her out the window. Here you go.
You and your wheelchair out the window. Let's try again, right?
If it takes three times, third time's a charm. And
you know what? More people need to be outspoken about it.
I'm like, why are we in the camp of defending
a woman who murdered three children, five, three, eight months
with an exercise ban, face down, fighting for their lives?

(24:13):
What are we doing? How is this? And let me
tell you something. A year ago, a man- was put
on trial for murdering his five children. Do you know
what that man got?

Speaker 3 (24:26):
The death penalty?

Speaker 2 (24:27):
That's right. Very quick deliberation, two hours. I'm like, why
are we giving sympathy? Don't we all want to be equal?
Aren't women just as strong as men, right? Shouldn't she
be equal to a man? Put her ass in the chair.
Pull the lever. I don't want to pay for, as
Nancy Grace says, three hots and a cot.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't want her in jail. I want her in hell. Goodbye.
Have a nice death. You murdered three kids. There is
no room for ambiguity at all. And these men that
are leaving their girlfriends, God bless them.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Get out now. It's a real movement.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
All right.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm off my soapbox. You know how I get about
these things, you know, and I can't stand the woman card,
the woman card about like this do-do-do Anne Hathaway. Our
reproductive destiny. Who talks like that? Stop it. I mean,
I get annoyed with the word family planning. My reproductive destiny.
What is happening? You are a woman. God gave you

(25:28):
the ability to give birth. Move on with your life.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Have a baby.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Be a good mom. Stop being a creep. Mercy? Mercy. Anywho.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
All right.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
So let's move on to our next favorite topic. Are
you ready?

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Hassan Piker. Assam Piker's getting some heat. You want to
set it up for me, sir?

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Well, no, I think we have three different clips of
Hassan Piker. And it's not really about Hassan Piker. It's
about the people that are like actually up for like
positions of authority and power, like the nominee for a
Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Said, who for some reason cannot
disavow or distance himself in a sufficient or effective way
from Mr. Piker. And I do think what's really fun

(26:10):
about that is like, There's a level of conceit and arrogance.
These guys think that they are actually effective enough communicators.
And they also kind of believe low key that what
he's saying is correct. And so here are the sentiments
and they, and they agree with him, I think is
really what it is. So the reason why you won't
see anybody disavow the quote unquote streamer from California is

(26:30):
because these, I think we have three clips from Hassan
Piker are, are, or at least in the ballpark of
what a Senate nominee from the state of Michigan believes.

Speaker 9 (26:39):
Abdul El-Sayed is my guy.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
Right.

Speaker 9 (26:42):
He's a Rhodes scholar. He's a doctor. He's a stud, too.
He can do three plates on the bench press. And
I mean, that's besides the point. But, you know, I
like that personally. And, you know, I've known of Abdul
and I've hung out with them. You know, I've done
fundraisers online, small dollar donations from my community for his

(27:02):
campaign because he doesn't have any corporate PACs. He opposes
corporate PAC money. And he's APAC has said that they're
going to deploy 30 million dollars in his race.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Right.

Speaker 9 (27:15):
Because he opposes America's relationship with Israel. He wants to
he wants to reconsider our endless expansionist mindset in not
only the Middle East, but all around the world. He
says we got to take this money away from these
bombs and spend it on ourselves, spend it on health care.
He's been an advocate for Medicare for all. He wrote

(27:35):
a book about it. And he was in the Detroit
public health office. So he abolished 300,000 people's medical debt.
You know, he had this glasses program where he gave
thousands of people in Detroit glasses so they can see

(27:57):
and read. And he's a wonderful person, right? But he
wasn't getting a lot of attention initially. in his race.
And he reached out to me and said, oh, let's go,
let's do a campaign rally together. And I had already
done stuff with him. I traveled to Dearborn. We worked out,
played basketball, all this stuff. So I didn't really think
about it. And then all of a sudden, out of nowhere,

(28:18):
the entirety of the right wing and also a lot
of center right forces in the Democratic Party started writing
articles about the dangers of aligning with someone like myself.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Well, let's take a look at what is so dangerous
about that alignment. It is completely ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (28:36):
It's laughable to say guys like myself, guys like Abdul El-Sayed,
we hate America.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
I say I hate America all the time.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
A lot of motherfuckers want to kill me over that take.

Speaker 9 (28:47):
But at least I say it with my fucking chest.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
People will be like, Hasan, you hate America.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I'm like, yeah, I do. I do hate America.

Speaker 9 (28:53):
God damn it. I hate America so much. We are
the bad guys. We are the bad guys. Why do
I hate America?

Speaker 7 (28:58):
Because I recognize accurate history.

Speaker 9 (29:01):
God, I hate America so much. I hate America so
fucking much. Sometimes it's like so stupid, dude. God, I
hate America so much. Bro, I hate this country, dude.
I hate America so fucking much, dude. God, I just,
I hate America so much. So fucking nasty. So fucking nasty, dude.

(29:25):
Hate America so much. I hate coming back. Dude, I
fucking hate America, dude. Why do I hate America, by
the way?

Speaker 7 (29:32):
Because of America's continued allegiance with Israel. I fucking hate
America so much. Fucking hate America so much. i just
oh god we're we're a nation of fucking bloodthirsty monster
god i fucking hate america so much sometimes dude oh
my god it's just so fucking nasty just a bunch

(29:53):
of perverted fascist fat fucks in this goddamn country just bloodthirsty.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
So the one thing that he said before how much
he hates America is that Abdul El-Sayed doesn't take PAC money,
which may or may not be true, although he's getting
ready to take, I'm pretty sure, some corporate money in
the Democrat Senate race and the Democrat Senate campaign committee.
You know who Abdul El-Sayed does take money from?

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Please.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think it's like... 18 of the same donors as
people who donated to a Republican candidate in Florida, Dan Blazerian,
who was running against Randy Fine. The one thing people
might not know about Randy Fine is his allegiance with
Israel is so strong, he is referred to as the
Hebrew Hammer.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I love Randy Fine. I love that guy.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
So Dan Blazerian basically ran... he's a tool of Israel,
had like an AI video with some anti-Semitic tropes, et cetera.
So here you have a Republican in Florida, Abdul Al-Sayed,
who's Medicare for All in Michigan. They have no political
positions in line except for anti-Israel stuff. Dan Blasian, very aggressive.

(31:02):
18 of his donors are giving money to Abdul Al-Sayed.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Not to mention the fact that he has Soros money,
he has CARE money. Yeah. He has lots of other money.
And what I love the most about the platitudes that
they say like one of his like hallmarks of his
campaign is healthcare medicare for all medicare for all medicare
for all okay great um how come your wife doesn't

(31:26):
take it in her practice so your wife is a
doctor in michigan by the way if we could i
like to say this as often as possible so bear
with me for one brief moment mr syed is not
a doctor he is a phd okay He has never
seen a patient. He has never treated a patient. He
has never prescribed medicine. He has never performed any sort

(31:48):
of surgery ever, ever, ever. So while the first two
letters of your title might be Dior, I am not
coming to you with a broken bone, the flu, or
any other major needs. You are a doctor on paper, period,
end of sentence. Congratulations on being a Rhodes Scholar. I
could give a shit less because you seem to have
the common sense of a net. Not to mention the

(32:09):
fact that you don't like football. And you dance like
you belong in a certain kind of club. I think
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
I was on a podcast with Tudor Dixon, who ran
for governor of Michigan. And she said, and so I
take her at her word, that like the actual, so
like he's running, oh, Medicare for all. He wants to give,
you know, kind of fundamentally change healthcare in the state
of Michigan. The area that he was actually in charge of,
you heard Abdullal say, or you heard Hassan Parker say,
he wiped out medical debt, gave away some glasses. Maybe
that's true. But apparently also they had like the worst

(32:38):
health outcomes in the state. So the track record of
the area in which he was actually in charge of
health care, not elite and maybe not that attractive for
the rest of the state or the rest of the country.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
So you might remember the nickname that we had for
Pete Buttigieg. He used to be the secretary of transportation.
And then you went back and you looked at his
own city, which he was the mayor of. And they
call him Pothole Pete because he never fixed the damn
road when he was in the White House. And then
you look at, I call him sicky Saeed because everybody
was sick when he was the head of all things healthcare.
And now he's like, healthcare is my platform. I'm like, bro,

(33:11):
you are literally the doctor of ill. I don't know
what is going on or why anybody cares what you,
and this fascination with him and the fitness. Ooh, he's
so blah, blah, blah. I'm like, bro, you are not
that fit. Sorry, not sorry. Just because you wear a
tight t-shirt doesn't mean you got big arms. It means
that it's too small.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
You see what Spencer Pratt started calling him Oompa Loompa Saeed.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Oh, I love it.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I didn't see that.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
A little squatty.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Oh, I love it. I absolutely love it. I mean,
Spencer Pratt, he's so like funny. He comes up with
the quickness. But I really struggle with these people who
are out here and they're trying to distance themselves from Hassan,
but they can't because Hassan is where all the money is.
And they know that. And now Hassan has buddied up
to the Bernies and the AOCs. So they're trying to

(34:01):
figure out, do we dissect ourselves from Hassan and hurt
our chances of the 2028? Or do we keep it
and lose 2026? They're really doing, I think, quite a
bit of strategic analysis right now and trying to figure
out what their next step is, because I don't think
they know.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Well, they don't know. And the polls have been off.
So I think they're trying to figure out what data
points can they actually trust? No, it's weird. But I
have seen the polling, you know, that he is he's
not up by a lot, but he is up fairly
consistently over Mike Rogers. So let's hopefully that pull is off.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, I need Mike Rogers to start wearing really inappropriately
tight T-shirts and just like get out there and just
be like, yeah, bro, you know, got the guns. I mean,
I don't know. In any event, two more clips for today.
We have this woman. She is a Georgia Democrat. She's
on an election board. Oh, how fun.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Speaking of people that hate America.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Please, I should have played that back to back, right? Yeah.
This is literally just two days ago, and she calls
the Pledge of Allegiance offensive and not unifying. And this
is what she has to say when she's talking to
the DeKalb County Board of Registration and Elections. What is it?
Deli Lohman or Dale Lohman?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Hey, Yankee.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
It's DeKalb.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
DeKalb, whatever. DeKalb, DeKalb. Potato, potato, you know? So long
as I land in Atlanta, I'm good to go. All right,
listen to this one.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Citing the Pledge of Allegiance is not unifying, and requesting
it is offensive. I will not support it, and I
hope that it does not get brought up again until
we can be assured that this country has pledged allegiance
to all of its citizens and treats all of us
as Americans, which it does not and never has.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
So when we have multiple people making complaints about reciting
the Pledge of Allegiance, it feels like we have lost
the plot. Regarding the claim that this is somehow unifying,
I just want to remind you that our legislature convened

(36:09):
in a special session this summer to take voting representation
away from black people.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
I'd love to see the proof of that. Something tells
me that there is a misnomer there. Just a bit. Just,
you know.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
I'm going to guess that's a reference to them having
a redistricting special session.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
100%. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Yeah, listen, I would say... That is not a unique perspective.
What is unique about it is the fact that it
was forcefully and unabashedly articulated. But I think that is
what people assume Democrats think. And that's why when Kamala
Harris says, I love this country, no one thinks that

(36:54):
they actually do want to embrace the flag and embrace
a pride in the country for that reason. Um, and
so I would just say, yeah, that's a, that checks out.
I am sort of low key shocked that we do
still do the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem
as prevalently as we do at like school events, sporting events,
et cetera, because of the prevalence of that perspective.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Well, I will tell you, I have been at a
few school events where it didn't happen. And I went
down and complained and said, we should do a four
stop of game. We are not playing until we have
the pledge of allegiance and the star spangled banner. I am,
I am that mom. And I will pull my child
off the field and I will tell their coaches and
I will go stand in the middle of the field
and you can arrest me. You will play that song.

(37:40):
It's about to get very real. I'm not the one
going out fist fighting in the middle of the field.
That's more common than ever. I'm not doing that. But
this is the greatest country God ever gave man. And
what the pledge and the national anthem actually stands for
is your right to oppose it. Your right to say
that you don't want to say it. So you don't
want to say it. I remember two Jehovah's Witnesses in

(38:01):
my class when I was a kid. You know what?
They never said it because they didn't praise anything. So
they sat down. And I remember, I'll never forget his name,
Wallace Fields. And we were in like the second grade
or third grade together. I was like, Wallace, how come
you don't say the pledge? He goes, I'm not allowed.
I said, why aren't you allowed? He goes, I don't know.
I thought, that's right. This is the quintessential issue.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
He's like, Linda, what do you want? It's the pledge
in Halloween. Like, welcome to my life, okay? It's like,
I'm out on all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
I remember bringing him like a candy cane and a
card for Christmas one year. You know, we were broke.
It was a joke coming up. And I remember bringing
him and he's like, oh, I can't take it. I'm like,
it's a candy cane. And I mean, I was eight,
you know, and I was already like this, but I
just was like, man, that's a shame, you know? Like,
and this woman is in a position of power and
she's feeling some kind of way that she can be
some kind of way. And I'm like, you know what?

(38:49):
You're a little bit extra on the Pledge of Allegiance.
I just got to say.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
So check it out. Here's what I like about this
and how what you just said and how it leads
into what I think is our last clip.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Please.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Because what you're speaking to is like, listen, yeah, you
might you may be like Assam Piker and you may
there may be parts of this country's history that you're
not a huge fan of. But it is possible to
appreciate the fact that like the one of the things
when you respect or present the flag and pledge allegiance
to the country. You pledge allegiance to the ideals that

(39:21):
it represents and it fights for to preserve for you
every day. And that is the freedom to oppose it, right?

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
And so it is possible to have a little bit
of gratitude. and appreciation for what you do have by
the fact that you live in this country. Clearly, there
were many, many people under Joe Biden who wanted that
right and not ability. And as we heard from a
dude testifying who runs a birth tourism center in the
house this week, he took the Fifth Amendment. There's like 20,

(39:48):
there's like 2,000 families that are coming in.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Not only did he take the Fifth, but he wore
an upside down flag on his lapel.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Oh, did he?

Speaker 2 (39:55):
I didn't see that.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Total scumbag. So the point is, there's lots of people
who do want to come here. But I like the
idea of intentional gratitude. And my favorite part of our
last clip is.
You know, sometimes bad things happen in life. Yeah. And
you have a few different ways of responding to it.
And it's hard for me to imagine, Linda McLaughlin, something

(40:17):
much worse happening to you. And it's hard for me
to imagine feeling more singled out by like none other
than God.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
Like of all the ways God could get your attention,
you know, you could have like a dead battery. You
could have, I don't know, like a health scare or
you could be struck by lightning.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Actually. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
And this guy did. Bro.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
I jumped you, bro. I jumped you. Go for it.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
No, I just say, and this guy, no. And this
guy did.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
It's, this is pretty amazing.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
So Linda, what's this guy's name? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
But let me see. Just says a Staten Island man.
You can tell by the woman, as someone who lived
on Staten Island for a few years, I can honestly
say she's like Yeah, you could come in. I'm calling
an ambulance right now. I'm like, my girl. I was like, yes,
power to the people. I don't know who you are,
but I love you.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
So he struck by lightning and then in response to it,
what does he do?

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Can I please come in?

Speaker 3 (41:45):
No, he goes to church the next day.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Oh yes, I'm sorry. I thought we were still talking
about the moment, not the after. I apologize. He goes
to church that Sunday and he thanks God for sparing
his life and for letting him survive this lightning strike.
But I think what's interesting about it It's just that
he gets up and he's so polite. He's like, can
I come in? Like he's not crying. He's not screaming.
He just gets up his entire front of his clothes.

(42:10):
If you're listening and not watching, please watch this video later.
He's singed head to toe.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Well, I think that speaks to something with you as
reference is like, yeah, you might be terrified of God.
You might be terrified of lightning strike, but not all
that pairs in comparison to the terror you have when
facing a Staten Island woman.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
So it's like, hey.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
She's like, you better get in here. I'm about to
call 911. I'm going to help you, all right?

Speaker 3 (42:33):
But I do think it's cool that he didn't get mad.
He didn't do anything. He's just like, hey.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
I think it's like you got to be in shock
because what is it? I actually thought about this, and
I thought I should post this to him, and then
I thought maybe he wouldn't like that if I did that.
But when he got struck by lightning, I thought the
two highest odds that have the most similarity is winning
the lottery and getting struck by lightning.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
So I was like, bro.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
If I were you, I'd be getting that lottery ticket
because you clearly are somebody who's in the running, right?

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Just saying. Or thought experiment, surviving a lightning strike is
like winning the lottery.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Oh, dropping knowledge.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
It also made me think of, I'm not sure, I'm
assuming you've never been struck by lightning. I don't know
if you've ever experienced anything that made you feel like
you were struck by lightning. The closest I ever came is,
do you remember? I'm sure you do. Back in 2008, 2009,
there was a guy who went down to the University
of Florida. I think John Kerry was giving a speech,

(43:29):
and he got tased. It was the whole don't tase me,
bro thing.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Yeah, okay. So that was kind of famous and became like, oh,
should the cops use a taser, all that stuff. So
I had a buddy who was in law enforcement, and
he was giving me a tour of the local police station.
He's like, look, man, if you want, we'll tase you
right now. And I was like, let's do it. So
he gave me, he put the clips on me. And
so I did get tased for like half a second.

(43:55):
And it feels like electricity is coming through the top
